I better sell my Elio stock so I can get in on this. 

The Honda CRF300L Rally is worth the extra weight because it has a 3 gallon tank so you don’t have to strap on a Kolpin tank if you want to go a long distance between gas stops. The bike itself is almost impossible to find at dealers out here in the West (at least last time I looked a month ago). I’d buy the venerable

Miata is always the answer. Especially in this case and I’m only 6' and around 190 lbs. 

She’s riding a CRF300L the rally version that has a 3 gallon tank. They are impossible to find here in the west. Been looking for months. Well worth the extra money. Or just get a slightly used CRF250L 

Tongans love the British Monarchy. Maybe get Tongan hip hop star Rizvan Tu’itahi (currently a New Zealander). Interesting story. 

Immediately upon reading that article about erythritol I ran out in the kitchen and checked my Red Bull sugar free cans in the fridge. Whew, it only has alleged cancer causing aspartame. After twenty years I don’t think I could go back to coffee.

I rented one of these AWD versions years ago to drive from DIA to Laramie in a snowstorm. My first thought was that I would end up in a ditch and freeze to death. I was very impressed. If this one were AWD I’d be on it for an overlanding fun project. $4500! That’s mid-range mountain bike money these days.

My full squish carbon mountain bike weighs about what my road bikes of the 80s and 90s weighed. And yes it’s damn comfy. When it starts snowing I have fat bikes with 4.5" tires that are also way more comfortable than road bikes with those skinny seats. Slow AF, but they’re a workout you’d only get climbing big hills

Idaho Code 49-307. No restriction on where they can drive and it’s not just for farm equipment.

I sold my road bikes several years ago. Even the bike paths are dangerous now with the crazed e-bikers on full throttle. I stick to dirt and snow. If I crash on a boulder that’s on me.

Around here they are already out there in traffic on e-scooters, e-bikes (that can go 30 mph) and one-wheels. Why not license them.

Idaho allows 14 year-olds to drive. Because farming.

I got tired of waiting for my Lordstown and put money down on an Elio. 

The lane keeping assist feature I’ve only had it on rental cars and a test drive in a Toyota Tacoma. The feature annoyed me so much I didn’t even bother to try and buy the Taco. 

Kinda depends on the city in my experience. Lyft in PDX, Uber in SEA. But could just be my luck. Or lack thereof.

Looks to me like a Corolla Cross that spent too much time at the gym after injecting questionable substances.

I spend half my morning every day wiping fingerprints off my stainless steel fridge. I can’t imagine dealing with an entire truckload of fingerprints. 

I was quite excited about the Broncos until they showed up all over the place here. They look like an inverted bathtub on wheels. The two door isn’t so bad.

Ever bought milk in Alaska? I used to watch “the milk ship” dock at the port in Anchorage from my office window. Like unloading gold nuggets. At some point in the pandemic they waived the Jones Act for cruise ships to Alaska so they could leave out of Seattle instead of Vancouver BC. The Jones Act might be a monument

I left my F-150 at the airport in Kenai, Alaska once when I went on vacation to Hawai’i. No plug in was available. It was -54 when I got back. The seat was like a piece of concrete. I had the truck towed to a garage. It took two days to thaw it out before it would start.
